Committee defending arrested oppositionists' rights to send report to PACE on people subjected to torture in investigatory wards

The chairman of the committee, Vagif Gadjibeyli, says that lawyers and human rights defenders have gathered by joint efforts detailed materials about 40 prisoners, 35 of whom are kept in the Bailovskaya prison today. "We will do our best to bring truth to the international public. They are illegally arrested, and, what is more, they are subjected to torture," said Mr. Gadjibeyli. To note, Head of the OSCE Office in Baku Peter Burkhard met the arrested people in a few days after the events of October 15 and 16, 2003 and provided the Council of Europe with complete information.
